Re: &..Yorkie's

[Guest guest]

Hi & ,

I too love little Yorkies. I have one

named Abigail Jane, we call her Abby.

She is now going on 7 yrs old.

She weighs 3.6 lbs and what a little

sweetie she is. She is in bed beside me now.

If I stay in bed all day she is right with me.

If I get up, she gets up...she is something

else. She is much comfort to me whether I am

having a bad flair or feeling good..She is always

there for me. I am enjoying this group very

much, it is very informative. I tend to lurk and

just read and pray for those who need prayer.

Re: [ ] intro

Hi ,

Welcome to our group. I had to smile when I read your intro. So many things

clicked with me. I am 35, divorced and have a 6 year-old son. I was

diagnosed with RA almost 3 years ago. I used to work as a medical assistant

until about a year and a half ago when I was fired because of my inability to

perform certain duties due to my RA. They actually did me a favor. I filed

for and was approved for disability benefits.

I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. I went through so

many difficulties before my final dx. The pain and inability to live a

normal life threw me into a depression also. I still have my days. I take

Zoloft 100 mg/day and it helps tremendously. I was lucky to find a wonderful

rheumatologist who is very agressive with treatment. He also does not give

me a hard time with pain relief. I hope that your dr. is treating you as

well.

I grew up with Yorkshire Terriers for pets. My aunt lives near burg,

PA and used to breed and show also. She has been retired for many years

because of health probs. My parents had 3 Yorkies and the last one passed

away last year of old age. They are the most incredible dogs that I have

ever seen. They are so intelligent, loyal and fun to be around. And they

are just so beautiful, inside and out. I miss them terribly. I'm sure they

are great companions for you.

I hope you get some relief soon.

Love and Hugs
